With that definition, wouldn’t something like beanstalk qualify? I think that definition is overly broad. However, you’re right in that it does make me wonder where the definition should start or end.
- pier25 6y agoI've never used AWS Beanstalk but if it's like Heroku I don't think it qualifies as you are still provisioning infrastructure (much like with EC2).
- cwhiz 6y agoIt provisions EC2 for you, and scaled up or down. To really simply, it’s the basic equivalent to having an infrastructure admin turning EC2 instances on and off as load goes up or down.
- different_sort 6y agoYou're responsible for managing the server in beanstalk, but it's not far off. I suppose it's just an earlier generation of the same idea. WHat I mean is, beanstalk runs on EC2 instances that you are responsible to make sure are patched, configured correctly and have everything you need for your application to run. Fargate/Cloud Run are probably better serverless examples - you bring a container and config and the cloud provider will handle the rest.
